Title: Improvements in Jointed Shafts
Inventor: STEWART JOHN KERWIN
Filed: 1905-12-28
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 27,099. Stewart, J. K. Dec. 28. Horse-clippers and the like.-The shaft sections of flexible shafting are each composed o f e n d bearing-pieces 2 and an intermediate piece 3 within a casing. The three pieces are connected by two slot-and-tenon joints, as shown in Fig. 2, placed at right-angles to each other to allow a. universal-joint movement. Where a jointed shaft is driven by a shaft journaled in fixed bearings, the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 is employed. The driving-wheel 5 has a hollow extension 6 into which extends the initial element of the flexible shaft. The two parts are engaged by sliding them together until a pin 9<a> of the shaft 9 engages a notch 6<a> in the end of the hub 6. The movement of the parts is limited by a stop collar 12 at the end of the casing 10 passing through the fixed bearing 11.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Single-phase Alternating Current Series Motor.
Inventor: LATOUR MARIUS
Filed: 1906-06-27
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 14,697. Latour, M. June 28, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motors, alternating-current.; sparking, preventing. - A single-phase compensated series motor has a winding, connected in parallel with the armature, adapted to produce a magnetization in line with but opposing that produced by the armature currents, and the winding may be supplied with an auxiliary voltage from a series transformer or from a portion of the motor field. The compensating- winding so connected serves also to produce a commutating-field. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the compensating- winding is arranged in shunt with the armature A and serves to neutralize the armature self-induction. The armature A, rotating in the field of the winding F, generates a current in the local closed circuit which produces a magnetic field in line with the armature and of the correct phase for assisting commutation. In view of the leakage which occurs in the interlinkage of the magnetic fields of the armature and the coil C, it is necessary to supply the winding C with additional ampere-turns ; these may be obtained of correct phase from a series transformer T, which has its primary in series with the main motor circuit and its secondary in series with the compensating-winding C, as shown in Fig. 2, or by connecting the coil C between one brush and an intermediate point of the field winding F, Fig. 3. By adjusting the ratio of the turns of the transformer T or by adjusting the number of turns of field winding F in the closed circuit, the ampere-turns in the compensating-winding C relative to those in the armature may be increased so as to compensate the motor completely.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Coupling Devices for Railway Vehicles.
Inventor: WALKINGTON RICHARD
Filed: 1906-10-03
Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 21,869. Walkington, R. Oct. 3. Couplings, automatic.-Railway couplings, preferably of the link-and-hook type, are arranged to be operated from the engine or other part of the train by rotary shafts extending under the vehicles and provided between the vehicles with clutches. The invention is described in connexion with a coupling comprising a link b, flexibly mounted by a joint b<1> and spring b<2> so as to engage automatically with a hook a upon the opposing vehicle, the hook being afterwards closed by a sliding bolt o. For uncoupling, the bolt o is withdrawn and the wagons pushed together so that the link slides up the slope a<2> of the hook, the return of the link being prevented by again closing the bolt o. For operating the bolts o, two shafts are provided under each wagon, each shaft being made in two parts ; one part c<1> carries the outer portion g of a clutch at one end, its other end being mounted so as to slide but not rotate in a sleeve j, while the other part c' of the shaft carries the inner member h of a clutch and is mounted so as to slide in and rotate with a sleeve i adapted to screw into the sleeve j. The sleeve is held against longitudinal movement by a fixed bracket f. A lever n, connected to the bolt o, engages between a pair of notched disks k, k<1> formed on the sleeve i, the disks being arranged to engage with pivoted pawls l, l<1>. When the shaft c<1> of the first wagon is rotated from the engine for the withdrawal of the first bolt o, the sleeve i, being locked against rotation by the disk k and pawl l, is forced outwards owing to the rotation of the sleeve j. When the disk k has cleared its pawl l, a stop upon the sleeve i comes against the end of the sleeve j so that the sleeve i with its shaft c<2> rotates, the disk k<1> slipping past its pawl l<1>. Such rotation is then conveyed by the clutch g, h to the shaft c<1> of the second vehicle, and in this way the bolts o are withdrawn successively along the train up to the point where it is desired to divide the train By an opposite rotation of the first shaft c', the bolts are closed successively along the train, the last bolt which was withdrawn being left open, so that when the wagons are buffed together, the link of the open coupling slides up its incline a<2>, whereupon its bolt o may be closed and the wagons separated. Semaphores q, Fig. 3, connected to the bolts o by cords p, may be provided on the vehicle to indicate the position of the bolts. The bolts may be fitted with pivoted hand-levers for operating from the side of the vehicle, and hand or power gearing may be provided on the engine for operating the shafting.

Title: Improvements relating to Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Inventor: TALL FREDERICK WILLIAM LE
Filed: 1906-10-30
Granted: 1907-11-30
Abstract: 24,179. Le Tall, F. W., [Lederer, A.]. Oct. 30. Incandescent lamps.-Incandescence bodies consist mainly of tungsten or molybdenum but contain also lower oxides of metals of rare earths, such as cerium, erbium, lanthanum, thorium, and zirconium ; the formation of a crystalline structure is thereby delayed, and the temperature-resistance coefficient is decreased. The lower oxides are obtained by addition to the tungsten &c. paste of compounds which are reduced during manufacture of the filaments &c., suitable compounds being oxides, nitrates, ammonium nitrates, oxalates, citrates, or tartrates. When oxides or nitrates are used, sufficient carbonaceous agglutinant is added to reduce them to suboxides ; but if the paste contains an inorganic agglutinant, organic salts of the rare earths are employed. The pastes described in Specifications No. 27,002, A.D. 1905, and Nos. 7803 and 9020, A.D. 1906, are suitable for addition of the above substances. The proportion of suboxide (f thorium or zirconium in the incandescence bodies may amount to about 10 per cent, and of a mixture of these-suboxides, to about 15 per cent ; for example, 20 per cent of thorium oxalate may be added to a paste of tungsten dioxide and carbonaceous material containing just sufficient carbon to reduce the tungsten dioxide, and the mixture pressed into filaments, subjected to dry distillation, and heated by current in a vacuum or an indifferent atmosphere.

Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 6711. Taylor, J., and Buckley, E. W. March 20. Loom stop-motions; weft-replenishing mechanism. -A weft-feeling device, which either stops the loom or operates weft-replenishing mechanism on substantial exhaustion of the weft, is carried by the starting-lever or by a lever bearing against the starting-lever. The feeler rod 1, Fig. 5, which passes through coincident holes in the shuttle box and shuttle at the beat-up of the lay, is normally pressed outwards from the casing G by a light spring J. A transverse pin L passes through the sleeve K and slots in the casing and the enlargement I' of the rod I ; the slot i permits the feeler rod to yield slightly when brought in contact with the weft before actuating the other movable parts, thus cushioning the blow on the weft and allowing for variations in the beat of the lay or for wear. When the weft has been exhausted to a predetermined extent, the ferrule Q comes into contact with the side of the shuttle and causes a bell-crank lever N through the spring O to raise the blocking-piece P, so that the rear end of the feeler rod cannot move back, the device thus being locked, so that either the loom stop-motion or weft-replenishing mechanism is actuated. The ferrule Q may be made in one part, or in parts q<1>, q<2> adjustable relatively to each other. The spring M which acts on the sleeve K may be replaced by a spring inside the casing acting on a collar on the enlargement P. The ferrule Q may be replaced by a fork or loop N, Fig. 10, of the lever N.
